Savory Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon shallots, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Begin by melting 1/4 cup of butter in a medium-sized cooking vessel over medium heat. Next, introduce 2 cups of sliced mushrooms into the pan and cook until they become tender.
2
Remove the cooked mushrooms from the pan, then set them aside for later use.
3
Add another 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan. Introduce shallots into the pan and stir them until they lose their raw appearance, becoming translucent instead.
4
Add ½ cup of chopped mushrooms to the pan and continue cooking until they too become soft.
5
Now, incorporate red wine, thyme, and bay leaf into the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for a short period of time, until it has reduced slightly and reached your desired consistency - approximately 1 minute.
6
Subsequently, combine 1/4 cup of cold beef broth with the arrowroot powder. Stir this mixture into the sauce, and then bring it to a boil.
7
Using a whisk, combine the arrowroot mixture with the sauce and stir until it thickens.
8
Add the reserved mushrooms back into the pan, then season your dish to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
